Hi everyone,

I just bought Yamaha's entry level amp to replace my RCA thing. I got the HTR-5730.

Problem is it won't send any bass at all to the speakers.
I set them all to large, but theres no difference. Small & Large sound EXACTLY the same.

If i set the bass to Front, i get some bass from a Digital signal. If i set it to Both or Sub then theres no bass in the fronts.

On an analog signal if i set the bass to Front or Sub there is nothing, but Both will turn the Sub on.

You think i got a bad amp ?? The whole reason i replaced my RCA was to get some bass from all 5 speakers since each speaker has an 8" Woofer that just sits there idle with my RCA, but this Yamaha seems no better.

Thanks in advance for any replies.
